58 free Attack on Titan trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
53 free Attack on Titan trivia questions with answers. Attack on Titan ran for eleven years in a magazine created to launch it, and its ending is still argued about. This Attack on Titan trivia quiz spans the whole thing, so expect spoilers: Shiganshina and the three walls, the Nine Titans and the thirteen-year curse, the reveals of Annie, Reiner, Bertholt and Historia, the basement, Marley and Paradis, Liberio, the Paths, the Rumbling and who finally kills Eren. It also digs into how the series was made: Hajime Isayama's rejected pitch to Shōnen Jump, the drunk customer who inspired the Titans, Rorschach as the model for Levi, the real customer behind Mikasa's scarf, Wit Studio handing the finale to MAPPA, Linked Horizon's German-tinged opening, and the live-action films that cut Levi altogether. About a third of the questions suit anyone who has watched the anime, a third are for manga readers, and the rest are for those who know which wrestler modelled the Armored Titan. Every answer is checked against a cited source shown under the question.
